I dont want a leak. I wont be able to say no. So i rather it just not leak.
I want a leak so I don't cave and buy tickets for the listen in the dark because I know if I do that and then it leaks I will be pissed.
This has been my dilemma. I’ve held off bc I’m assuming a leak and then what? Im gonna pay $30 to go and listen to the record I’ve prob already heard a dozen times or more played twice in a theater? Nah
Someone’s got to be able to make this happen for us. Who has the clout and connections to get it done? Come forward!

"While not exactly a complete apology for Gigaton, the comments the band have made thus far have an implicit undertone: If you didn’t like reflective aging Pearl Jam, don’t worry, we turned the guitars back up." Oh geez, don't say it ain't so. My worst nightmare.
Sounds like a potential Avocado situation. On the other hand, this also feels like speculation, considering that we've heard/read the comments by the band and I don't feel they are in any way antagonistic toward what they did on Gigaton.
I haven't gotten this vibe from anything I've read.

Also Trag says it probably stinks. Strat says it Sticks after smelling it a few weeks.
To sum up Sterogum. Pearl Jam is a old band who made sum great records many years ago. They haven't mattered for decades. This was a good attempt at rekindling something. It soldered even though they used wet wood and forgot the white gas. If you are a die hard fan you'll enjoy, because well your a die hard fan. If your not move on nothing to hear here.

That sounds like a pretty honest assessment to me. They haven't been culturally relevant, in a significant way, for twenty-five years. That's not to say they're incapable of a fantastic late-career highlight, but, let's be honest; the only fans who care about new music are the die-hard fans. Everyone else goes to the shows, at this point, to nostalgically re-live their first bong hit or the backseat they first got fingered/blown in. Takes nothing away from the achievement of the record itself. There's nothing egregiously offensive in that take, from where I'm sitting. It is what it is.
